The x86/HVM direct boot ABI permits Qemu to be able to boot directly
into the uncompressed Linux kernel binary without the need to run firmware.

This commit adds the header file that defines the start_info struct
that needs to be populated in order to use this ABI.

Does it make sense to bring in Linux
include/xen/interface/hvm/start_info.h via QEMU's
include/standard-headers/?
QEMU has a script in scripts/update-linux-header.sh for syncing Linux
headers into include/standard-headers/. This makes it easy to keep
Linux header files up-to-date. We basically treat files in
include/standard-headers/ as auto-generated.
If you define start_info.h yourself without using
include/standard-headers/, then it won't be synced with Linux.
That does seem better. I will make that change.
One a related note, I'm trying to fix the mingw compilation errors [1]
in this series also. I can fix the format issues with PRIx64, etc but I
can't seem to find an include file to provide a declaration of mmap()
et. al. - has this been resolved before? A pointer to something similar
to investigate would be very welcome.
Regards,
Liam
